Cute Amigurumi
These crochet toys are loved but children and adults. Think large single items or pairs of things that go together. A crochet plant or succulent with personality (a smile face on the pot), a big bee or apple. A pair of rag doll toys. These are unique things that catch people’s eyes and they can’t find them anywhere else.
Crochet dishcloths in neutral colors
These are a classic, they wear out and need replacing to regular uses of these seek out crochet dishcloths. I have even been asked to make them from online friends and sell them by request! People who love them will pay up to $8 per cloth. Print out pretty labels like I did here for my crochet spa set to make them look more high end. If you feel weird charging a higher dollar amount put a line on your label “thank for supporting a small business-this item took 2 hours to crochet”

Water bottle holder
These nifty accessories help a gal stay hands free while staying hydrated. Be sure to display them with an empty water bottle so people know exactly what they are. There are so many great styles. Make a few colors so your shoppers have a choice. I like a natural jute color but another person may gravitate toward a royal blue or hot pink.
Seasonal decor
You can get really creative with this. A Spring, Fall or Winter garland. A wreath. Halloween decor like pumpkins, witches and pillows. See my post on great Halloween crochet projects. Pillows toys, and cute things to put on desks and mantles. People like to decorate their office cubicles!
Crochet potholders
Some crochet potholders are really stunning and a big favorite of mine. I have designed several and included all of them in this free list of 10 crochet potholder patterns. Try some in a novelty design and some in a more elegant classic design to appeal to different tastes. Everyone needs potholders!
My fish potholders are very popular and can be worked up in a day.
Crochet ponchos
These forgiving one size fits most garment is another great options to offer customers. Keeping the style simple with a soft beautiful yarn will give it mass appeal. Fringe gives ponchos a unique looks and other more sleek styles will appeal to women who prefer quiet elegance. I have a list of crochet poncho patterns here.
Crochet baby items
Baby blankets, baby nursery items, baby clothes are a classic gift. Check out how many different adorable crochet ideas for baby showers that aren’t blankets in this post. These are timeless items so if they don’t sell at the first craft sale you can keep bringing them back. Babies are constantly being born!
Crochet bucket hats
For spring and summer fairs, things like sun hats and bucket hats, any brim hat is a great find. Made with cotton or raffia they keep the sun off the face without make your head hot. There are lots of free patterns and because they have a bit of give they will fit many head sizes.
Crochet Baskets
A basket is not just a basket. There are wall style baskets as well as planters and traditional style baskets. Check out this post on several types of crochet baskets.
Mittens
Consider mittens and gloves for fall and winter craft shows, including bigger pairs for men! Men need hand sweaters too. Check out this post on crochet items for men to see a pattern.
